AR glasses are wearable devices that enhance the user’s perception of reality with digital overlays. They have a long history of development and innovation, dating back to the 1960s. In 1968, Ivan Sutherland, a Harvard professor and computer scientist, created the first head-mounted display system called ‘The Sword of Damocles’.
Are AR/glasses popular ?
Although not as popular as some other tech, AR glasses are getting to be more main streamed. According to Statista, the global AR market size is expected to grow from 2.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 to over 9 billion U.S. dollars by 2027.
You may ask why? The reason is that some of the advantages of AR glasses include:
- They can improve the opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and guidance in various domains, such as education, health care, gaming, tourism, marketing, and social media.
- They can provide sharper vision, reduced glare, and more attractive appearance for eyeglass wearers by using anti-reflective coating.
- They can offer immersive and interactive experiences that can enrich the user’s enjoyment and learning
However, the slow uptake in the technology can be attributed in some ways to the initial bulky and expensive offerings. AR glasses are expected to become more advanced, affordable, and ubiquitous in the future.
